Yep, the little fellow there was printed on the margins of stamps for years to remind people to use the new zip codes.

If you are waiting for huge corporations to pass along the tariff refunds they are about to get from the government to consumers who bought tariffed products, you haven’t been paying much attention to the way things work in this country.

I don't think recent memory has featured an industrial company with as much of a reputational fall-off as Tesla, both because of the decrease in quality of its cars and the increase in blithering fascism in its CEO. A decade ago a Tesla was a status object; now it's a vague embarrassment at best.

Trump has made more money off the presidency than every other president has combined in the last 230+ years.

Trump is still painting the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, racing to finish before a court can stop him. He skipped every legally required environmental and historic preservation review to get here.

Funny how after every SCOTUS ruling striking down some protection from government abuse, the officials those protections restrained — cops, prosecutors, Republican state electeds — immediately start acting in the precise manner SCOTUS assured us they no longer do.

It was never going to be America First. It is Billionaires First and always.

"Thank you for your attention to this matter" isn't just a robotic postscript; it implies that everyone is waiting for his every declaration with bated breath (he no doubt believes this is true) and will work tirelessly to transform his pronouncements into policy. That's what he thinks is happening

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart. And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.

BYD has named Donald Trump "Salesman of the Decade." oilprice.com/Latest-Energ...

Barack Obama sent seasoned diplomats and nuclear scientists to negotiate the Iran Deal. Donald Trump sent a few real estate bros and JD Vance. Failure was a foregone conclusion.

Trump is rapidly morphing into his own caricature of Joe Biden.

Mockler: One day we've won, the next day there's negotiations, the next day we've won again. But there's the actual on the ground reality that we are mobilizing thousands of troops to the Middle East. We are asking for $200 billion for this war. And I don't know what are we getting for this.

While ICE is in airports, I will not fly. I will not be harassed. Since I won't fly, I can't spend money in other parts of the travel industry. If I boycott them, who cares? If a million or 10 or 100 million boycott the travel industry... maybe someone will pay attention. #BoycottTravel

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

Anytime anyone says “tow the line”

A MN protester accused of assaulting ICE officer had case dropped after vids showed no assault. LA protester accused of assaulting ICE w/ “hat” had case dropped; judge said govt acted in “bad faith” In Chicago, 92 ppl were arrested for assault/impeding ICE; 0 convicted DOJ keeps lying and losing:

By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.

I did not expect to see #4.

Hey, you try dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes and see if you get prickly. (Don't ban me, it's a joke!)

There are all sorts of parallels for what the Trump regime is doing to American cities but you could do a lot worse than looking at Ireland under British rule and Northern Ireland during the Troubles for a better understanding - a populace viewed as fundamentally hostile, little restraint, etc.

Amy Klobuchar: "There are now more ICE agents in Minnesota than there are police officers combined in Minneapolis and St. Paul. So they are outnumbering our own local police officers out on the streets."

Found my sign for the protest against ICE tomorrow.

1/ When the GOP get unchecked power, they don’t govern, they run experiments. Kansas was a warning. Texas is next. In Nov 2025, 17 GOP amendments rewired the Constitution to lock in giveaways, hollow out public goods, & explode deficits. We already know how this ends. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #ProudBlue

Trump has no idea what’s going on. He’s turned the WH into a gilded Assisted Living Facility with court jesters and a ballroom.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

"To Trump, Reagan’s composed performance, with its affirmation of consensus, is almost intolerable. It must be discredited not because it is inaccurate but because it represents an entirely different model of what presidential authority looks like." -Jake Lundberg www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Why is Pete Hegseth so obsessed with keeping everything he is doing hidden from the American public except for his workout and cosplay videos?

this is the Pope his entire thing is going around waving to crowds and looking happy he is also such a White Sox fan that this is the maddest - and most human - I have ever a pope look

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

This is very good

One giant wreck after another with this admin, you'd almost think they're doing it for the insurance... But they don't have insurance.

I like that these official statements from law enforcement agencies are completely destroying every Republican MAGA lie and propaganda of the last week. 🚫👑🚫

one problem with tech CEOs all being fascist ass kissers now is that if the DOJ serves some wildly overbroad subpoena on Amazon for the account info of everyone who bought an inflatable costume in the U.S. since mid-Sept, we can't be sure the legal team reporting to Jeff Bezos will move to quash it

Make it make sense. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

In our non-DEI meritocracy, Larry Ellison's son bought CBS so that Bari Weiss could then put her sister on air.

Do you remember riding in the back seat of the car with your sibling when you were a kid? And at some point, your sibling would decide to get annoying and do the "I'm not touching you!" thing, with their finger like a millimeter away from your arm, your torso, your face, whatever?

We should mandate a work requirement for House Republicans to get their health care. How about they have to work at least one week a month to keep their government health insurance?

Catholic priests and bishops have been trying for months to visit people held in the ICE detention center just outside Chicago. Why are they being blocked? What harm could it possibly do? What are they hiding?

The pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires. "I urge you: never sell out your authority" News agencies deliver a service which “requires competence, courage and a sense of ethics”.

The entire American economy is being held hostage to the whims of a guy who doesn’t understand how the economy works

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Only tech dudes would reframe the relentless management exploitation of their time and talent as a feature, not a bug. They're self-exploiting, and then they'll be tossed aside when their value is depleted. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/b...

There are people who should be making atonement and asking for forgiveness today who absolutely will not and never will and who think that this deficit in their humanity is somehow a virtue.

He can’t take tariff money and give it to anyone, so that is bs. Congress has to pass another farm bailout bill just like they had to the last time Trump wrecked their businesses. So farmers will have to embrace socialism again since they can’t compete in market capitalism.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...
